FAQs

No adhesive bonds well to soft or highly flexible surfaces—this is a technical limitation, not a product defect.

Fully compatible: Biowave SmartShell 5, Biowave Hard Case for Fairphone 4.

Please check whether your current case is made of TPU or silicone before placing your order.

Does the glue really stick permanently?

Yes. We use a high-quality 3M adhesive strip that comes pre-cut to size. It securely attaches your case and flip cover, ensuring a reliable and durable fit—as long as the surface is not made of TPU or silicone and is clean, dry, and free of grease. Detailed installation instructions can be found on the product page.
